Hip Tip: We do have a great homemade alfredo sauce recipe if you'd like to skip the store-bought!

Spicy Sausage Skillet


Directions: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the sliced kielbasa sausage, bell pepper, and onion to the skillet and saute until tender and sausage is browned, about 6-8 minutes. Season the mixture with Cajun seasoning. Add the marinara sauce, and stir until warm. Heat the cauliflower rice in the microwave and serve sausage mixture over it.

Trader Joe's Carnitas Salad


Directions: Heat a skillet to medium heat, and saute onions and carnitas until tender and the meat is heated. Feel free to add other veggies to the skillet that you have on hand. Add 1.5 cups of lettuce to each plate, along with carnitas meat on top. Top each with 1/4 cup of cheese, guac, sour cream and any other toppings you love.

There are often occasions when I just don’t have the time or energy to cook a homemade meal that requires quite a bit prep and lots of ingredients. This is when store-bought zucchini noodles, canned sauces from the pantry, and a grocery store rotisserie chicken can come in handy!
